To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning o the circuit breakers to the
outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock
the circuit breakers in the o position, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a
qualied electrician.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
attachment system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan.

Installers Choice and Optional Accessories
Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®
Hunters patented 3-position mounting system provides you maximum
installation  exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one
of three ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Low
Pro le, Standard, or Angle mounting.  e steps in this manual include
instructions for all three Installer’s Choice mounting methods.
Considering Optional Accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
Low Pro le Mounting ts close to the
ceiling, for recommended or low ceilings
less than 8 feet high
Standard Mounting hangs from
the ceiling by a downrod (included),
recommended for ceilings 8 feet or higher
Angle Mounting recommended for a
vaulted or angled ceiling
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you
can purchase Hunter extension
downrods. All Hunter fans use sturdy
3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability
and wobble-free performance.

2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Your fan comes with four neoprene noise isolators (“Isolators”).
Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by
inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the
ceiling plate.
2-3. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling plate.
2-4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.
2-5. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” screws and pass the
screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the pilot
holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.

You can assemble your fan for standard mounting (steps 3-1 – 3-2) or
for low pro le mounting (steps 3-3 – 3-4).
To install the remote control you will need to strip electrical wires. If
you are uncomfortable doing so, seek help from a quali ed electrician.
3-1. To assemble fan to hang down from a  at or angled ceiling, insert
the downrod through the canopy and canopy trim ring. Feed the
wires from the fan through the downrod.
3-2. Screw the downrod into the fan assembly. Tighten the set screw.
Skip to Step 3-5.
CAUTION: e downrod has a special coating on the threads.
Do not remove this coating; the coating prevents the downrod from
unscrewing. Once assembled, do not remove the downrod.
3-3. To assemble the fan to hang from a low ceiling, place the low
pro le washer (lip up) into the canopy. Be sure the green ground
wire is pointing up toward the ceiling.
Note: For low pro le mounting, the downrod is replaced with the
low pro le washer. See Steps 3-3 – 3-4.
3-4. Align the holes in the washer with the holes in the adapter.
Assemble securely with three #8-32 x 1” screws.
3-5. Before installing the remote control, change the position of the
jumper switches in the transmitter and the receiver. Be sure the
position of the jumper switches matches. If they don’t match, the
controller will not function. For instructions on how to set the
jumper switches, read the box below.

Setting Jumper Switches
When two or more fans are located near each other, you may desire to have the receiver/
transmitter for each fan set to a di erent code, so that the operation of one fan does not
a ect the operation of the other fans.
In the transmitter you can access the jumpers from the battery compartment.  e
jumpers are very small. You can move them most easily using a small pair of pliers or
tweezers. IMPORTANT! Before you change jumper switches, make sure the battery is not
connected to the transmitter.

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the
blade to the fan).
6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets,
insert them by hand into the holes on the blades.

screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose
after screws are tightened. is is normal.
6-3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers
from the motor.
6-4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the
blade iron, and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade
mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.

7-2. Feed the upper plug connector through the center opening of the
housing.
7-3. Align the keyhole slots in the housing with the housing assembly
screws.
7-4. Turn the housing counterclockwise until the housing assembly
screws are rmly situated in the narrow end of the keyhole slots.
Install the remaining #6-32 x 3/8” screw into the housing. Tighten
all three screws rmly.
CAUTION: Make sure the upper switch housing is securely attached
to the switch housing mounting plate. Failure to properly attach and
tighten all three assembly screws could result in the switch housing and
light xture falling.
7-5. To attach the lower switch housing, connect the upper plug
connector from the motor to the lower plug connector in the
lower switch housing assembly.
Note: Both plug connectors are polarized and will only t together
one way. Make sure the connectors are properly aligned before
connecting them. Incorrect connection could cause improper
operation and damage to the product.
7-6. Place the lower switch housing assembly over the upper switch
housing. Align the side screw holes in the upper and lower switch

8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
8-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan.  e pull chain has
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and O .
Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades.
e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.
8-3. e light pull chain controls power to the light.  e pull chain has
two settings: On and O .
8-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
8-5. For cleaning  nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will
damage the  nish.
8-6. Clean wood  nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan  nish.
To Change Air ow Direction

stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position. Restart fan.
